Headline: Protest Against Bottom Trawling In Brussels

Caption:

Ocean Rebellion activists unveil the world's largest screen print, across the EU Parliament esplanade in Brussels to mark the start of Ocean Week. The 150-metre artwork, symbolising the destructive reach of industrial bottom trawling, is formed from over a thousand hand-printed panels depicting marine life skeletons and slogans denouncing seabed destruction. Campaigners demand an EU-wide ban on bottom trawling, arguing that it devastates marine ecosystems, releases vast carbon emissions, and continues even in so-called Marine Protected Areas. The action urges EU leaders to redirect subsidies from industrial fleets to small-scale, sustainable fishers.
